How am I going with my resolutions for 2012?
1. Spend $100.00 or less per week
2. Read a book per week.
3. Blog a minimum of once a week - Secondhand Sundays.
4. Support small local businesses where ever possible.
This month I was actually pretty good at sticking to my spending budget - sure I brought more tea cups than I probably should have but that's the whole idea of sanity money - I can spend that on whatever I like as long as it's under $100 total for the week.
I've read one book this month, well, I lie - I've read most of one book this month.
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm hoping to finish it tonight. I've really enjoyed it.
18 blog posts this month is definitely more that once a week.
And most of my purchases this month were either from the Riccarton Market or a secondhand shop.
Another thing I've always had on my bucket list is to learn a language so last night I went along to my first Maori class. It's an 8 week beginners course that I'm doing with my man & his mum. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for next week!
How's 2012 going for you? What's on your bucket list??


Red was definitely your color for April - love it! My bucket list included reading a book a month... that so hasn't happened :)

On December 27th I actually made a list of 101 things to complete in 1001 days. I saw it on a couple blogs and thought it was a great idea. I am doing pretty good so far, but there are a few long term goals that I need to start working on a little more.
